GERIK: A mother and her daughter died in a fire that broke out at their double-storey house at Taman Sinaran here early Thursday.
Fire and Rescue Department officers, who received a call at about 3.30am, found the bodies of 52-year-old woman and the 12-year-old girl on the top floor of the house.
A spokesman said several residents in the area tried to save the two by breaking the front door on the ground floor. When they failed, someone called the department.
Firemen who arrived at the scene minutes later found that the fire had died down.
“We received a distress call at 3.33am and we managed to reach the house at 3.37am.
“The victims were found in one of the rooms,” the spokesman said adding that the victims died due to smoke inhalation.
